how come WF doesn''t post a H&A picture for ...

their ACA line ?

They do...

On every ACA diamond page the H&A images are under the stone image.

There has been some discussion on whether or not those are sample images or images of each individual stone, can''t recall the final outcome. From what I have seen, the stones that make the ACA cut are pretty consistent in H&A patterns.

They are working on it.
Not as fast as Id like but its getting done.
The current h&a images are stock images.

as above.

I believe that the images posted are noted at the bottom that they are stock images.

but if you ask, they will take a H&A pic for you to see of the stone you are looking at.

Thanks guys... Yes, working on it

We do offer a guarantee of true patterning (see standards) for ACA... Every one goes through the checklist so the consistency is guaranteed.

However as the internet consumer has been offered more and more information (online Sarins, online IdealScopes, online magnified photos, online grading reports) we do understand that demand - and expectation - of actual imagery is rising.

As M'Lord mentioned, we can provide actual images on request - typically before we ship (just as we would a custom piece). I suspect you could run a search for ACA H&A images posted by consumers here and find enough to see the consistency if so motivated. Or I could find several images and email them to you.

As it stands we offer lab reports, Sarins, IdealScopes and magnified photos. Stay tuned for hearts

John,

You must spend what, nearly an hour on each stone by the time you have run each test? I know that it takes me about twenty minutes just to take decent photos. It is a herculean task and I applaud your efforts!
